In a directive issued on Monday, DCAA said customers will not be accepted for travel on Emirates flights in Nairobi during this time.

Outbound passenger operations from Dubai to Nairobi remain unaffected.

"Affected customers do not need to call us immediately for rebooking. Customers can simply hold on to their Emirates ticket and when flights resume, get in touch with their travel agent or booking office to make new travel plans," DCAA said.

DCAA did not give a clear reason for the suspension of the flights, however, there have been concerns raised over travellers issuing fake Covid-19 certificates.
